MARIO CUCINELLA ON FERRARI'S NEW E-BUILDING IN ITALY
designboom meets italian architect mario cucinella to discuss his design for ferrari's e-building, the new home to the italian car manufacturer’s hyper, super – and soon electric – cars in maranello, italy. 'the building itself took less than a year to build,' cucinella tells us. 'it has two floors and impressive dimensions. the idea is you can quickly build and dismantle the building, similar to how you assemble and disassemble a car.' read our conversation in full here, and discover more recent interviews here.
